Fur better, fur worse as Daniel Hill, from Channel 4’s
SuperScrimpers, ties the knot with pooch mad spendaholic
When generous Louise Harris and scrimper Daniel Hill’s wedding went to the dogs they couldn’t be happier.
Most brides hate to be upstaged but the Sunday People can reveal how Louise insisted a quartet of four ruff guests attended her marriage to make it her yappiest day.
Louise, 33, was adamant that her four Yorkshire terriers had to see her tie the knot with penny-pinching presenter Daniel Hill, 31, from Channel 4’s SuperScrimpers.
And true to form, spendaholic Louise, boss of a pooch pampering business, did not scrimp on doggie treats for Lola, aged nine, Lulu, six, Lolly and Larry, both four – nearly £8,000 on goodies such as chicken broth beer, stock cocktails and liver cake topped with flowers.
Each dog wore outfits for Louise’s nuptials, with “page boy” Larry in a purple bow tie and morning suite and Lulu, Lolly and “chief bridesmaid” Lola in matching green.
They were dressed to the canines and escorted down the aisle by four of the bride’s friends. Louise said: “For me it was important the dogs were included in my big day and had everything they needed. Their two nannies were flown in from Spain and there was a doggie day-crèche because weddings can get a bit boring and I didn’t want the dogs sitting around with nothing to do.
“The weather was quite warm so there were paddling pools, toys and each dog had a four- poster bed in a chill out area.
“I also shipped in about £350 worth of doggie treats.
“The ice cream man was paid extra to make a selection of mini cones so the dogs could have ice creams at the same time as my guests.”
She said: “The dogs were definitely the deciding factor for the venue. They have always played a vital role in my life.
“I wouldn’t have got married any place where I couldn’t have them with me. It ended up being the perfect day. It was even more overwhelming when I watched the dogs being carried down the aisle.”
She will be hoping her marriage lasts longer than that of her much-loved Lola.

Louise,
who had considered a mansion in Tuscany for her wedding, finally picked
Woodhall Manor in Suffolk for her three-day, £130,000 celebration earlier this month.She said: “The dogs were definitely the deciding factor for the venue. They have always played a vital role in my life.
“I wouldn’t have got married any place where I couldn’t have them with me. It ended up being the perfect day. It was even more overwhelming when I watched the dogs being carried down the aisle.”
She will be hoping her marriage lasts longer than that of her much-loved Lola.
In April 2011 Louise splashed out an incredible £20,000 for Lola’s “wedding” to Mugly, holder of the title world’s ugliest dog.
But the union ended in “divorce” a year later because they rarely saw each other.
